Features
The Esse Ironheart wood cook stove is pricier than most cookstoves on the market but when you understand the difference in the way it's built you'll understand the reason. Europeans value quality cooking appliances and openly design them with generations of use and durability in mind. The ovens design offers gentle and indirect heat that won't dry out your food. Pizzas, for example, will be piping hot and evenly cooked from edge to center while toppings remain moist and the bottom is baked to perfection. Cooking temperature can be reached in approximately 60 minutes from cold start. The firebox is spaciously designed to accommodate 18" wood lengthwise. By using larger wood, you can avoid restoking the stove while baking and struggling to regulate the changing temperature.

5 of 5 my esse January 10, 2015
Reviewer: mac mcgreal from Darlington pa  
I installed my stove in November of 2013. We experimented with it last winter using bought cord wood to heat and cook a little. In the spring of 2014 I cut and split 6 cords of ash and we got ready for winter. Our house is about 1600 sq ft.We built it new in 2005 its all electric with an average bill of 185.00 per month. My lowest bill this winter was 31.07 and my highest has been 86.78. The only time we've run the furnace was when we went out of town or shut the esse down to do a clean out. We haven't used the electric stove top or oven since probably October. My wife cooks everything on the esse. She's amazing pays no attention to the thermometer at all. I watch her go from top rack to bottom rack turning the pan or roaster every time. We've cooked everything from bread to lasagna.The money we spent for the Esse is best money we've ever spent.Its come back to us ten times its value just in enjoyment. Its by far the best stove and you can't go wrong dealing with Woody

5 of 5 Heartily Recommended! February 5, 2014
Reviewer: Barry Fink from Eureka Springs, AR  
We finally finished with the permanent destination for our Esse Ironheart just in time for Christmas, so I am sending these photos. We are very happy with the Esse and would heartily recommend it to any one. My wife cooks on it frequently and has baked pies, bread, cakes and other foods in the oven, as well as using it to warm up leftovers. It keeps the house nice and warm and is easy to start a fire in. The baffle has been staying in place and the fire brick you sent fits perfectly now.

I can't say thank you enough for your help with the stove and your guidance in constructing the alcove for it, Woody.
I will be recommending Obadiah's Woodstoves to others.

5 of 5 Excellent Help for Non-customer!!! December 5, 2013
Reviewer: Catriona & Nick Martyn from Ontario, Canada  
Hi Woody

I'm the lady who just phoned you from Ontario, Canada, in the middle of having our Esse Ironheart installed, and you spoke to one of the installers, Dylan, as well.

We bought the Ironheart from a very good local fireplace shop, Embers in Perth, couple of years ago, and have been waiting for our kitchen renovations to be ready for its installation.

Although the North American dealer is in British Columbia, he's a bit hard to get a hold of, and doesn't often return calls too promptly, unfortunately.

We had read a lot online about the Esse, and everything I read leads back to you as the acknowledged North American expert on all things Esse Ironheart!

I just wanted to say how much we really appreciate your generosity in supporting Esse would-be owners, with your excellent videos on Youtube, and your helpful advice I'm reading online at Hearth.com and so on, and Dylan wanted to say thanks, too, for your guidance.

Many, many thanks, from a snowy corner of Ontario,

Catriona & Nick Martyn

5 of 5 3 Year's with the Ironheart November 30, 2013
Reviewer: Glenn Keto from Laurier,WA, ketoriverfarm.com  
We installed an Ironheart in 2010.  We love it. It heats 1700 square feet.  The look is beautiful ... everyone agrees.  We do much of our cooking on it.
In the beginning I made some mistakes. Had it come with decent instructions it would have been much easier.  My biggest mistake was in not using the woodbox the first year.  Without the woodbox, the fire was difficult to damp down and as a result I had a warped and flaking ceiling after the first year.  The manufacturer was not sympathetic even when I pointed out that their manual completely skipped over using the woodbox. Obadiah's was! With the woodbox I find I can easily control the size of fire.  However, I find the edges of the woodbox have flared out to the extent that it is damaging the fire brick.  I will have to replace it later this winter.  I highly recommend this as a high-end stove and also recommend that you skip the purchase of the OEM woodbox and purchase Obadiah's stronger one instead.
